Like lightning, you move swiftly and unhindered while sprinting down the field with ten yards to go and your eyes fixated on the goal and checkered ball. Nobody can stop you, and nobody can catch you. Nick, a 12-year-old football enthusiast who abhors reading, is a football fanatic. Football, family, love, and friendship take centre stage in this graphic novel version of the popular verse novel as Nick attempts to figure out how to handle his parents' divorce, stand up to bullies, and impress the girl of his dreams. These obstacles impact his life and that of his best buddy, and they seem even more difficult than scoring the game-winning, tie-breaking goal.
